copy it over to your documents directory when the app starts. Assuming that your sqlite db is in your project, you can use the below code to copy your database to your documents directory. We are also assuming that your database is called mydb.sqlite.

    //copy the database to documents
NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSString *documentsDirectory = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"mydb.sqlite"];
if(![fileManager fileExistsAtPath:path])
{
    NSData *data = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:[[[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath] stringByAppendingString:@"/mydb.sqlite"]];
    [data writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
}

Anyone know of a better way to do this. This seems to work ...
